The butler really hoped that they could be together for a lifetime.
She was not very clear about the events that happened five years ago, but these past few days, she could tell that Xu Chaomuâs heart was not as hard, and Shen Chiâs love for Xu Chaomu had never diminished by half.
Moreover, Shen Chi, who was so proud and aloof, had completely given up all his stubbornness.
She had practically watched Shen Chi grow up and had never seen him care about someone so much, so much so that he wished he could give his all to her.
Over the years, countless women had been around Shen Chi, and the butler had truly seen many, of all types. She had seen those more beautiful than Xu Chaomu, sexier than Xu Chaomu, and more feminine than Xu Chaomu, but all of them were just fleeting sceneries, passing clouds.
The only one who could truly make a stop in Shen Chiâs heart was Xu Chaomu.
When they approached the car, Shen Chi enthusiastically opened the passenger side door for Xu Chaomu.
Xu Chaomu glanced at the passenger seat, then at Shen Chi, âHas it been sat in by many women?â
âYouâre so jealous.â Shen Chi laughed and pushed her into the seat.
Xu Chaomu pursed her lips, looking very reluctant.
Shen Chi bent down, fastened her seatbelt carefully and attentively, just like he had five years ago.
âDonât worry, I donât let other women sit in this seat.â
After he fastened her seatbelt, he then walked around the car to the driverâs seat.
Xu Chaomu, hugging a small bag, settled herself into a comfortable position.
She turned her head and glanced at Shen Chi.
He was starting the car seriously, turned the steering wheel, and drove out of the luxurious estate.
The man looked really handsome when he was driving seriously; his clean and crisp short hair, his slightly cold eyes shone with a sharp light, his thin lips lightly pursed, eyes focused ahead.
The sleek handmade ink-colored shirt highlighted his extraordinary spirit. With a slight movement of his wrist, the watch also radiated a stunning brilliance.
Xu Chaomu looked at him disdainfully, wearing clothes he really looked like a respectable person.
When Shen Chi turned his head, he met Xu Chaomuâs big eyes.
âAm I that good-looking?â The man shamelessly teased with a smirk at the corner of his lips.
âPfft, whoâs looking at you. Look, airplane!â Xu Chaomu pointed at the sky with a finger, then turned her head away, refusing to look at him anymore.
âAn airplane? Itâs more like Iâm pacifying the little one in your belly.â
Shen Chi reached out, taking the opportunity to touch her belly, and then⦠moved up, sneaking a quick caress.
âShen Chi, canât you behave even when youâre driving?â Xu Chaomu snapped, batting away his hand.
A tiny flame suddenly flared up, just like the blazing sun, unable to be calmed down.
Shen Chi withdrew his hand and continued driving.
âTouching my own wife is perfectly justified.â
âDivorce! Weâre getting a divorce!â
âCanât find the marriage certificate, canât find the household registration book either.â
âFine! Youâre bullying me, arenât you? Just wait!â Xu Chaomu was furious. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It didnât matter, if she really confirmed that the child in her belly was his, she would see how she wouldnât sort him out.
Xu Chaomu, angered, turned her head away and simply stopped talking to him, leaning her head to sleep.
After a few minutes, Xu Chaomu began to doze off in a daze.
âMumu, Mumu,â Shen Chi, finding it boring without someone to talk to, called her name a few times.
âDonât make noise.â Xu Chaomu mumbled.
âYour husband is working hard driving, keep me company and talk.â
âThen letâs talk about divorceâ¦â
âForget it, just keep sleeping.â Shen Chi twitched the corner of his mouth.
It took nearly forty minutes to drive to the hospital.
At this time, the sun was scorching, everywhere seemed to be ignited, as if even the ground was emitting heat.
Inside the car with the air conditioning on, it was quite cool, and Shen Chi was still worried that Xu Chaomu would catch a cold from sleeping too much.
But Xu Chaomu loved sleeping in the car the most, every time they rode in it, she would fall asleep, truly just like a little pig.
Only that this little pig had grown up, and her chubby baby face had long since slimmed down, looking more refined and mature.
But no matter how she changed, she was his Mumu, the person he was meant to walk through life with in this lifetime.
No matter what, through sickness and health, till their hair turns white.
Some people are destined the day they meet to be together for life.
They pulled into the hospital parking lot, and only then did Shen Chi shake Xu Chaomuâs shoulder.
âMumu, wake up, weâve arrived at the hospital, get down for the checkup.â
âDonât bother me, want to sleepâ¦â
âStop sleeping, if you keep sleeping, the doctor will get off work.â Shen Chi didnât know whether to cry or laugh.
Xu Chaomu ignored him, still wanting to sleep.
Shen Chi had no choice but to threaten her, âItâs better for the baby if we check earlier, and we can also get the doctor to prescribe some medicine. That way, you wonât feel so sick in the mornings.â
When it came to the baby, Xu Chaomu really did open her eyes.
She took off her sunglasses, looking at him in a daze, âOh, to the hospital.â
âYeah, good girl,â Shen Chi unfastened her seat belt, really wanting to carry her out of the car.
However, when his gaze touched her abdomen, he felt an unusual sensation in his chest.
After all, the child belonged to someone else.
âLetâs go, Iâm already out of the car, why arenât you coming down?â Xu Chaomu walked to the driverâs side after exiting the car.
âHmm.â Shen Chi agreed, locked the car, and put an arm around her shoulder.
âDonât touch me, it feels so awkward.â Xu Chaomu slapped his hand away.
âMumu, I want to ask you a question.â
âWhen are we getting divorced?â
âCan you stop obsessing about divorce?â Shen Chi said helplessly, âCan you⦠tell me who the father of the child is?â
âThe guy next door, Old Wang.â
Shen Chi knew he wouldnât get an answer from her, the girl was just stubborn.
âMumu, wait a second, Iâll call the dean to arrange a doctor directly for us.â
As they stepped into the hospital, Shen Chi took out his phone.
âDonât you dare!â Xu Chaomu tried to snatch his phone, âLook at you, you have no sincerity at all. Accompanying me for a pregnancy check, is it that hard? Opening backdoors is not allowed, go stand in line!â
Shen Chi hadnât even made the call when he heard Xu Chaomu say this, and again his mouth twitched fiercely.
Stand in line?
Register and stand in line? Check and stand in line? Pay and stand in line? Get medicine and stand in line?
He looked up at the hospital crowded like a sea of people, a dark expression crossing his face, really, to stand in line?
When had Shen Chi ever lined up before?
âDirector Shen, if you donât get in line now, the doctor is really going to get off work,â Xu Chaomu mimicked his tone from earlier, imitating him perfectly.
âXu Chaomu, youâre ruthless,â Shen Chi rubbed his forehead.
âGo on.â
âMumu, letâs discuss this, can we not stand in line? Think about it, if we get checked earlier, we can go back sooner, and you can rest early, the baby can also sleep peacefully. This wayâ¦â
âAre you going or not?â Xu Chaomu glared, threatening him.
âMumu, look at this lineâ¦â Shen Chi pointed casually.
The hospital, after all, was similar to a marketplace. Almost every window was crowded with people, a mix of all sorts.
